On-the-job training is only as good as the trainer's sense of what matters. A one-page job breakdown fixes that: the steps of the task, the key point in each step that makes or breaks the result, and the reason for it. Trainers teach from it, assessors assess against it, and it survives the trainer leaving. Write one for every skill with a minimum above one, starting with the ones held by one person.
A record to fill in: what to write in each field
| Skill and code | The skill as it appears on the matrix. |
|---|---|
| Standard | What done right looks like, and the document and revision it comes from. |
| Steps | The task in five to ten steps, in order, each a few words. |
| Key points | For each step, what makes or breaks it: safety, quality, the knack. |
| Reasons | Why each key point matters, in plain words. |
| Common errors and how they show | What goes wrong, and how the trainee would notice. |
| Assessment | What the assessor watches for, how many repetitions, what counts as a pass. |
